QNAP TS series units run Linux RAID with ext4 or ZFS (on QuTS hero models) and are common in homes and small offices.
Which model do you have?
The model is on the label on the base or back, for example "TS-453D".
Common faults we fix
- RAID group degraded or "not active"
- Unit stuck on start-up
- Drive failures
- Firmware update failed
What we recover
- Failed or degraded volumes, including after a failed rebuild
- Individual failed drives from the NAS
- Deleted shares and folders
- Units that no longer boot or appear on the network
Before you bring it in
Don't rebuild, re-initialise or swap disks around. Label each drive with its bay number, power the unit down and bring all the drives in. A rebuild onto a failing disk is the most common way RAID data is lost for good.
NAS data recovery prices
| Service | Price |
|---|---|
| Free initial consultation | Free |
| 2-drive NAS (for example 1TB + 1TB) with one drive to repair | £450 + VAT (£540 inc. VAT) |
| QNAP or Synology RAID 5 NAS | £650 + VAT (£780 inc. VAT) |
The free consultation tells you whether the fault is physical or logical and the best way to recover your data. It doesn't include opening the drive in the cleanroom or any recovery attempt.
Larger NAS units and RAID 6 or RAID 10 volumes are priced like RAID recovery.
We can supply an external drive to return your recovered data on. The price depends on the market rate at the time.
